Notably absent from Pet Shop Boys‘ two previous music videos, “Invisible” and “Winner,” Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe return to camera’s view for “Leaving.” The song is the lead track and second single from the duo’s eleventh studio album, Elysium, released last month.
The economical clip integrates Pet Shop Boys’ performance of “Leaving” from last month’s live Elysium launch party at Berlin’s Hebbel Am Ufer Theatre with footage of trains arriving, departing, and traveling along the tracks. While there’s no plot, paired with the song, the black and white video does present a smooth ride.
Remixes of “Leaving” by Dusty Kid, Elysium producer Andrew Dawson, and Pet Shop Boys, accompanied by a smattering of new B-sides, will be released on October 14 (UK), across CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
